@@bobbuilder5362 I 100% am still running it and haven’t had to mess with anything. I really like it. You can dial in the resistance with the needle valve. Also when trailering it you can close the valve all the way and the motor isn’t swaying all over the place. Most importantly, I have been ejected again due to know steering dampener! Don’t know if you saw my other video. I was catapulted out of the boat and man that hurt. I blew my ear drum all apart.

I was thrown from my honwave t32 in chop when using a 10hp engine at planing speed in an estuary. I saw trouble [sudden deep chop] in the water ahead and dropped the throttle to min [possibly tried to change direction, unsure? if so probably a mistake] but was thrown straight out. Idiotically I didn't have my kill cord attached so ended up swimming slightly desperately after a still moving boat {approached it from the side, I can't remember in retrospect whether I was fully mindful of the very real risk the propeller would have posed}. Slower speed than your painful case here, and I had a dry suit, bouyancy jacket, PLB etc., and quite confident in the water, so I guess I would have been fine, but very abrupt. You're fine. Then you get a second of 'oh wait a minute' but you're already basically a passenger, and the next second you're in the water. Since then I have changed the boat to a longer one with a deeper keel, always use the kill cord, and also have a clip I can use to attach myself to the boat also [apparently in higher winds there can be times a boat floats away faster than you can swim]

What actually happened? Looks like you lost your balance which caused you to jolt the tiller and the change of direction threw you in the drink. I have one of these and they corner violently!

No steering dampener. Rough water, which you can’t truly see in the video. Couple of choppy waves and a LOT of feedback in the tiller, pulled the tiller to one side and I went for a painful ride. I now have a really good steering dampener on it.

Thanks for your response!Okay, that's great. What I'm still wondering is where you attach the bolt between the damper and the control stick?
@paulbadenhop727211 ай бұрын
On the Mercury tiller handle there is a bolt hole for this. I think other brands have a bolt hole in the bottom of the handle as well

@@donaldwaltman4365 ironically I had ear plugs on me that day and didn’t put them in. Lessened learned!! The boat is 13’. And I have a Merc 60 with a 15” mid on it.
